The plugin is great. It is miles better than Sibelius Scorch, which is the only other option for this kind of digital music distribution. Scorch was fussy, is not really supported any more, and doesn’t run on 64-bit systems. I really appreciate that musicnotes went to the trouble to write their own alternative.

Musicnotes allows me to buy – almost! – any song I want without having to hunt down a compilation book and pay for a bunch of other music I don’t need. I can pick between a bunch of different arrangements – some of which are awful (I wasn’t impressed with ‘singer pro’) but some are great.

The single printout restriction is understandable given the way music copyright works. Get a cheap laser printer and print on quality paper and it is almost as good as a professionally printed copy.

IMSLP is an amazing project and is wonderful for public domain music but there’s an entire century of musical innovation still under copyright.

Yes, DRM is bad and the length of copyright is crazy. I would be the first to argue for reforming it, but there will probably always be copyright restrictions on at least some music. I think musicnotes’ ‘pay per printout’ model is reasonable. For me at least it has been just like buying physical sheet music, but with the choice of millions of songs all available immediately.

The only thing that annoys me about musicnotes is when I type in a song name and I find out that no-one has published the sheet music for it!

When I run the command”java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame”,the game window appeared, but it always black screen.

and the error prompt is:

By the way, myy java’s version is 1.7.0_11 and vedio card is ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series].

Thanks for your help!

Also the scores are not accurate, I wanted to buy a score to get the notation for all the fills and variations in a song but the file just showed the same repeating figure for the whole song.

Completely worthless fraud. I think their business model counts on people not asking for refunds since it’s just $5.

If they honestly described what I would actually get I could have made an informed decision on if I wanted to buy it. But they lied. I would bet they don’t actually pay royalties either based on how fraudulent their product descriptions are. If they will lie to their customers they will lie to the rights holders.
